MY STORY

TRIATHLETE

In 2015, I began competing in running events which eventually led to competing in triathlons in 2018. I have competed in over 35 events, including two 140.6 mile and eight 70.3 mile Ironman races. I use the skills I have developed, like discipline and endurance, in my every day life.

MY WHY!

I joined Toastmasters to enhance my leadership skills. Initially, I saw myself as a proficient communicator, but I soon realized that effective communication goes beyond just words. I remain with Toastmasters because it offers me the opportunity to continually learn how to help others become the best versions of themselves.

MY PROFESSIONAL LIFE

Starting my career at just 15, I washed dishes in a small restaurant, learning the value of hard work early on. My time in the military instilled discipline and maturity, shaping me into the person I am today. For the past 25 years, I have thrived in the technology sector, continually honing my business acumen and leadership skills, while embracing every opportunity for growth.
